Emigrant Ship

In the second half of the 19th century over a million Irish left the country on emigrant ships as a result of the great famine. At the beginning of the 21st century many thousands more vamoosed and are still leaving every day on the modern equivalent, the jetliner. There goes another bunch. Bon Voyage all.

Right now we are off to see a performance of "Rumors" by Neil Simon at a nearby drama festival. See you all later on.
